Today is World AIDS Day and I want to send a message of awareness and hope in honor of all of the victims of this terrible epidemic.
When I was young, a friend of my mom's passed away after battling AIDS. It is something that has hit home with me and that I have grown up being aware of.
Researchers appear closer to a vaccine and the World Health Organization has released a strategy to contain HIV in the next ten years. A key part of the WHO's plan: prevention.
Have you been tested? Are you practicing safe sex?

Hi Kim,
I am appreciative that you took the time to recognize World AIDS Day!
However I find it sad that pathetic people would take the time to bring up your pass. We don't have time for this.
I'm sure you have learn from you pass, but EVERYBODY HAS A PASS!
PEOPLE ARE DYING OUT HERE BECAUSE OF AIDS!
Thank you using your celebrity status to blog about this wicked disease.
And one more thing..Keep doing you Kim!
And to those haters..shut up and go volunteer!

Like 7up, never had, it never will... (at 39), so the risk is minimal.

this is disease is seriously such a tragedy i wouldn't even want my worst enemy to experience this...and i hope that one day the cure for HIV is found...Ive heard that the cure for both HIV and Cancer have been found but supposedly the government doesn't want it to come out or something cuz they make more money this way but if that's true i dont understand how people can have a bitter heart of keeping something like that out of the hands of all the millions of people who can be saved...

Kim, I like you and all, but you, as well as other celebrities, need to practice what you preach. You having unprotected sex on video, but blogging about HIV prevention and safe sex; Paris Hilton representing Vote OR Die in the 2004 Election, but not even being registered to vote. I guess you also expect us to believe that you and your "hubby" practice safe sex also, please!
When does the hypocrisy end in Hollywood. These causes should be more than just SLOGAN!

AMEN! Everyone needs to be aware of how important this is. It only takes one time. Some people feel as though they shouldn't ask their partner to get checked. If they really care about you and it's long term, it shouldn't be a problem.
Love,
Melisa
XOXOXO!

Thanks for the information Kim. Hopefully this will make alot of people sit and think about the choices they have made when it comes to sex. I hope that we are more aware of this disease then ever before.
Be safe...

Eve - Sorry this happened to you! I have been bidding too and if that happens to me I'm going to call Kim out as well! I dont think your making a big fuss, I just think your upset (as you should be)!!! As of right now my item is still up, but I kno what you mean...
Anonymous says: | Reply
kim have you been tested and do you practice safe sex? just asking...since you asked u that. ill be waiting for your answer...NOT lol. I don't like it when people ask personal questions without answering the question themself. Seems like this particular blog is not getting a lot of comments, what's up with that? Practice what you preach, that's all im saying.
Eve says: | Reply
Thanks Jema,
I usually don't make a big fuss over things but this I will not tolerate. I really spent a lot of time picking stuff out and bidding for a whole week and look at what Kim does! Something needs to be done. I'm actually a huge fan but I'm really pissed right now..

Tracey - KEEP WAITING, THOSE COMMENTS NEVER GET APPROVED, EVER. JUST RE-TYPE IT. YOU PROBABLY USED A BANNED WORD, YOU HAVE TO EDIT IT.

Kim I am extremely upset!! I have been bidding on two items since day one, since the very start of the ebay bidding and had the winning bids for the items with only two days left till the end of the bid. I just realized you removed and cancelled the items and relisted the items all over again. I was browsing through ebay and decided to check if there were any new items listed and as I was scrolling down I see the two dresses I was bidding on under new listings!! Kim you even added pics of yourself in the dresses which weren't on the original listing! I cannot believe this!
Can you please let me know what is going on. This is very unfair especially because of the fact that I have been spending so much time bidding and checking on a daily basis. I was super excited that I was going to win these dresses. I was really looking forward to getting these as a Christmas gift for myself. I think it's great what you guys are doing for the Dream Foundation but what you did is really wrong!
I have also sent emails to you at kimsaprincess on ebay. I just received a response saying "this is not Kim. This is the company she hired to list her items. If Kim finds any errors whatsoever in the listings she forces us to cancel them and relist. Sorry."
The funny thing is there weren't any errors on the original listing. I even have proof because I printed out the items yesterday before they got cancelled with the dates and descriptions. The same information that was on the original listing is on the new one!
As a fan I believe I deserve some answers Kim. In the words of Jennifer Aniston, what you did was so uncool!

anonymous 4:43pm - i know eh ! like how can she sit here and ask people if they practice "safe sex" when she doesn't even do that. Ray.j chea.ted on her so how could she be dumb enough to not use protection with a sleaze bag like him? ughhh he's so grosse to me. Maybe she learned from that. what's funny is that this particular blog got less than 30 comments, but the prize giveaway which was just put up already has like 45 lol.

kim there is no such thing as "safe" sex, only SAFER SEX. Did you have any AIDS AWARENESS training? That's the first thing they tell you.

Kim, you should tell us what type of skin care products you use!

Info - Damn! It sounds like you have a serious problem. The "stalker" in you is definitely showing.

the statistics are actually higher than that because alot of people are HIV positive and don't even know it. There are a number of ways people become HIV positive. Kim those are some personal questions you are asking your fans, might have been good if you actually answered those questions too, maybe some of these impressionable young women would go get tested and practice "safer" sex if they knew you did (that's if you practice what you preach), eventhough they should regardless ! Try abstinences people, it needs to make a comeback ! just my 2 cents :)
